HELLO, HELLO! You've made it just in time! The library is now open!
I am an avid Bagginshield reader, and have a growing list of fics (2000+) for that pairing that I would love to share to with you all!
I'm will do a poll 2 Friday's a month, for trope/au of the week and then post 5 fics the following Sunday evening, with descriptions, content ratings, why I liked it and how long it is. The Friday after the poll winner post will be the second place winner.
If you have requests for a trope or au that you really want to sink your teeth into, just send me an ask and I will be more than happy to supply you with Second breakfast (so to speak).
I hope you enjoy the library and Have a GREAT READ!
It's important to me that you remember that unless you make it a private bookmark on AO3, the author can read 100% of what you put in the bookmark note.
Hi everyone. I would first like to apologize for my disappearance. I've had some health issues that affected my eyesight. I basically couldn't see or look at a digital screen due to light sensitivity. I still have to have most of the lights off in my house but I’m getting better. Hopefully within the next couple weeks will should be back on schedule. Love you all!!!!!!
Time got away from me and I completely for got to set up the poll for this last Friday. I will not be making a habit of this, I promise.
But as an apology, Here are some of my all time Favorite fics.
#1 Less Than the Best by Sullen_in_Love
Summary: Erebor needs a queen, and Thorin is set to marry a dwarrowdam to be his consort. No matter how much it breaks his heart, Bilbo takes it upon himself to ensure Thorin only receives the best and decides to scope out the candidates. Everything goes well, and he finds one that looks promising, until he uncovers a rather disturbing fact about the crop of potential consorts.
Rating: Mature
#2 Traveling Companions by billiethepoet
Summary: The journey is long and hard, so why shouldn't Bilbo take what Thorin is offering?
Oh, probably because he's hopelessly in love with a handsome king who's only interested in him for sex. But there's not much else to do when you're on your way to fight a dragon.
Rating: Explicit
#3 The Wax and The Figure by Vinci
Summary: Almost all soul bonds are created unintentionally since there is no way of knowing who a person's soul mate is until they have gone through the bond. Regardless, all newly formed bonds go through several phases. These include but are not limited to: The Initial Encounter, Connection, Separation, Need, Excessive Attachment and Sexual Desire.
Since soul bonds are rare, neither Bilbo nor Thorin realize what happens the moment their eyes meet.
Rating: Mature
#4 Token of Friendship by squire
Summary: Bilbo had to leave before the unwanted love he nurtured would crush his heart with the weight of the entire Mountain. Even if Thorin did return his affections, according to Dwarven law, Bilbo would never become anything more than a bedwarmer, stealing moments of closeness under the cover of night and sneaking out of the King’s chambers in the wee hours of the morning, forever hiding his true feelings under the façade of a friendship worth of legend.
He couldn’t do that to Thorin, and he couldn’t do that to himself.
However, heavy is the head under a heavy crown, they say. And maybe, Thorin would be the one who'd need just a little push this time.
This week's selection is Hurt/Comfort. So get your Blankies, snackies and a trusted stuffed companion, because this is going to hurt your feelings.
First up is Teach Me Your Ways by airebellah
Summary: Thorin sat in a bookstore reading to his nephews. He struggled to read the foreign English text, but he would do anything to please his nephews. Including humiliating himself in front of a cute man with a small boy of his own.
Thorin Durin, forced from his home in war-torn Erebor, struggles to adapt to England’s language and customs. Bilbo offers to help, and amongst many a cultural confusion, their relationship quickly grows beyond simple language lessons.

Next Up is Bad Blood by @conkers-thecosy
Summary: Bilbo patted Gloin awkwardly on the back, once, and was glad when the dwarf let go. It had only been a fraction of the time Thorin had held him for on the Carrock, and he was glad for it. Somehow it had been different, and perhaps until now, until he had been hugged fast by another of their company, held as a friend expressing gratitude, Bilbo hadn’t quite realised how different.
The thought of their leader caused Bilbo’s gaze to drag across to where Thorin was standing, restrained firmly by two elves, and he was embarrassed to find those blue eyes fixed upon him quite unblinkingy. His expression was unreadable, as it always seemed to be, but there was something fierce in his gaze. Something barely contained. Hidden, but so close to the surface that Bilbo still got a sense of it. Like a shadow, or smoke reflected in glass.

Or: How might the events of Mirkwood unfolded if Bilbo hadn't had the ring?
Rating: Teen and up
Angry protective Bilbo. Biting. Feral acts of violence against elves. Nobody's secrets are safe. Conkers I love you for this one.

In third we have, A King's Bond by Mordelle
Summary: King Thorin felt like Mahal Himself had swung his mighty hammer and cracked it right between his dazed blue eyes. The vibrations from The Strike shook his very being from his skull to his heart and then out through every nerve in his body. His eyes rolled back, his lungs expelled every breath of air, and the King Under the Mountain swooned so violently that his chair tipped backward with a loud crash, leaving everyone in the room silently gaping at the head of the table where only a pair of royal boots could be seen. His One had finally returned his Call.

(just imagine a string of crying emoji's here.) there's fading, there's parental rage, there's slow burn. They love each other your honor.

Our 4th fic is Wild Wings by DomesticGoddess
Summary:
Wounded and stranded in a strange forest, Thorin finds himself in the care of a lovebird, a reclusive and mysterious race. He’s not impressed. His host appears backward and primitive. But Bilbo seems content enough to play caretaker while Thorin heals, and that is a mercy. Isolated with the halfling, Thorin has little to do besides navigate the barriers between them and learn more about his host. The more he learns, the more he finds himself drawn to the selfless, hardworking hobbit.
But how can he be sure that this growing attraction between them is anything more than an intimacy brought on by isolation? Besides, Thorin’s a king. He’ll have to return to his kingdom, and Bilbo has never left the forest.

And lastly we have Through the mist (I find you) by MiraHerondale
Summary: Bilbo returns to Erebor two years after the Battle of the five Armies, invited by his friends to join the Durin's Day festivities. With his last memory of Thorin being him dying on the ice of Ravenhill, he worries he might not be entirely welcome. After all, he never heard about his banishment being revoked. What he finds, is simply much more devastating.
Rate: Explicit
Thorin's lost his memories. Bilbo's desperate to get one last taste. I apologize for the hurt, but also You're welcome for the rest!

Imagine reposting someone’s fanfic, and acting so insanely gross when the author KINDLY asks you to take it down, or at least credit them. (I can’t reblog the og post because I was blocked ages ago by the op)
Imagine then having a toddler tantrum because the author, who was rudely rejected and insulted, shared the post and advised people they were the author as seen in the first set of images.
Imagine being such a GROSS bully because YOU were wrong.
(With permission from Conkers to use the screenshots she’s sent me from her inbox, I’m attaching some of the cruel backlash she’s received from this person, tagging triggers just in case - TW: transphobic, fatphobic)
Please treat people with kindness. I don’t care if you create something or not, if this type of behavior is allowed in ANY space…wow.
This is not what our community is about. If you support this kind of behavior, I advise you remove yourself from the community. This is highly inappropriate and will be met be with appropriate reactions of reporting, blocking and refusal to interact with on all platforms.
Good evening Beloveds. We are gathered here today to purview the JEALOUSY trope in regards to our precious pairing.
so we begin with!
Incite and Provoke By Vintagelilacs
Summary: Thranduil is an opportunist, and if flirting with the halfling is going to upset the Dwarven king, he'll take great delight in doing so.

Also remember next Sunday will be Hurt/comfort for the rec list, so make sure you grab your tissues and your chocolate! See you next week!
Do you know of any fics where it's just about how obsessed with and in love with Bilbo Thorin is? Or ones that have a lot of focus in Bilbo breaking through Thorin's dragon sickness? It just sounds so cute 😭
HELLO! HELLO!
I do have 2 fics for you! 1 of them are explicit. So beware if you aren't old enough.
the first one is lay your troubles down by Avelera
Summary: An extended version of "the acorn scene." Bilbo sees his chance to snap Thorin out of his madness, and takes it.
its quite funny in certain spaces but remember this is explicit.

The 2nd is If I could give my breath away (I would) by StupidFatPenguin
Summary:
The first thing Thorin sees when he wakes up is his own hand resting on the bedsheets. Atop it rests another, smaller hand. It feels warm and looks soft, the skin unworried by forge burns and blemishes. It is not a dwarf’s hand; he knows as much. Yet he cannot quite gather for himself if that is of any importance.
Or, Thorin loses his memory and quite forgets that the hobbit by his bedside whom he wishes to court and marry is already his husband. Everyone else find this hilarious.
Super lovey dovey Thorin just absolutely enamored with a hobbit he "doesn't" know

One gold fic and one super in love Thorin. I hope you enjoy them and if you have any more requests. Let me know!
It is a Thorin/Bilbo fanfiction about an alternative universe version of the hobbit. What I remember is Thoron attempts to get Erebor back but can’t and becomes slightly gold mad. During this time he signs a treaty with the shirts for food. I. The treaty it says that he must marry a member of the Thain’s family. After defeating Smaug and the gold madness, Thorin, a bit reluctantly, fulfills the treaty but chooses Bilbo rather than a female hobbit. ( the hobbits are a bit homophobic in this story). Bilbo agrees to marry Thorin because he thinks he’s attractive. Bilbo moved to erebor and they navigate their marriage. There is a background plot of the fellowship going off to destroy the one ring at the same time this takes place and in the middle( after they forgive things out a bit) the Thain sends an ex of Bilbo’s to Erebor to ruffle feathers.
i can't remember fhe name of the fic but i think its on AO3 or Fanfiction .net.
please help me find this fic. its driving me goldmad over here
Hi! I've been looking for a hobbit fanfiction where Gandalf accidentally gives Bilbo a potion (or spell?) that turns him into a child and as they go on the journey shenanigans ensue lol, ive been looking for this forever please lmk if you find it!

Now I know FemBagginshield is not everyone's cup of tea. But I adore this fic. I am biased to any of Rutobuka's works. so i present!
The Service by Rutobuka.
Fem!Thorin and Fem!Bilbo. The story is explicit as the major plot revolves around Fem!Thorin figuring herself out in an explicit way with Bilbo's help. I really do recommend reading this one if you can. If its just not something you like just scroll past it.

Hey! I was wondering if you could please please please share the list of Modern AUs with Canon races, even though it didn't win in your last poll. I've been interested in this type of fanfic for a very long time and it's been difficult to find more than one or two.
BTW thank you so much for your dedication ❤️.
Hello! Hello!
It was the second place winner so i can't give you the whole list as that will be next friday's post but i can give you a little snack to tied you over until then!
(Almost Believing) This One's Not Pretend by diemarysues
Summary: Thorin Oakenshield and Bilbo Baggins have been friends since they attended the same university some years ago. Bilbo decides one day to surprise Thorin by making the long flight over to spend the holidays with him. Unfortunately, Thorin's house is currently overrun with family who seem too interested in Thorin's (lack of) love life. Misunderstandings occur and suddenly Thorin and Bilbo are boyfriends - but not really.
They've done crazier things before; surely pretending to be together will be a piece of cake. Right?

this one is a holiday fic. but it is one of my favorite canon race pieces I have read. It's also one of my top favorite tropes. The holiday fluff. The pretend dating. I like to read this one when I'm in the mood for some light angst and but still need a fluffy pick me up.
ENJOY!!

This is not really your traditional Canonverse fic. Erebor never fell but Thorin is "cursed" and Bilbo is their last hope for a cure, due to his skills. Its a really good exploration of emotions and senses and how sometimes all we really ever need is a change of perspective.

Our next fic is Roses of Iron by Porphyrios
Summary: Two years after Bilbo returned from his adventures, he's made his peace with being back in the Shire. He still wonders what might have happened if things were different, but figures all that is behind him now. A mysterious visitor turns out to be someone he never thought he'd see again, and he's shocked by the news he hears.

This fic is a work of art. The added lore, the explorations of both Bilbo and Thorin's character, the exploration of the dwarrow culture, and how how the story flows. Its a long fic but it's not a slow burn, in my humble opinion.

Here we have The Age of Miscommunication by SilverSkiesAtMidnight
Summary: “It’s got such a presence to it, even from a distance,” Bilbo says softly, and there’s a general murmur of awed agreement from the others. “Why, in all my fifty years, I never thought I’d see such a thing, and we haven’t even arrived yet!”
Thorin’s sword hits the ground with a clatter, and Balin chokes on his pipe.
The hobbit doesn’t look at Thorin, too busy thumping Balin on the back. Once the dwarf seems able to breathe again, he looks up, to find thirteen wide pairs of eyes fixed on him.
“What?” he says defensively, though he’s not sure what he’s defending.
“You’re how old?” Kíli squeaks.
Bilbo frowns at the young dwarf. “I’m fifty years old. Well, fifty-one, come springtime. Though it is not very polite to ask someone their age so bluntly,” he tells him primly.
Fíli makes a choked sound, and Nori lets out a vicious string of swears in Khuzdul."

A comedy and a half. The company reacts drastically to finding out the age difference between hobbits and dwarves. I laughed, giggled and eye rolled at the theatrics.

Our first explicit fic rec is young savage things/ barely worth remembering by pomgore
Summary: For a moment, Thorin looks winded, his eyes wide and his jaw set tightly like Bilbo has wrung him out to dry. He seems out of his depth—it’s written all over his face, really—and Bilbo would be moved to sympathy if he didn’t know that somehow, this warranted Thorin seeking him out in the middle of the night. He remains guarded for both of their sakes.
“I have never courted anyone before, and I was not educated in the art before the dragon came.”
“Alright.”
“If I remember correctly, you have been- involved, with other hobbits before.”
“... I have.”
“Please teach me how to kiss.”

And last but certainly not list we have Songs in the Dark by Leoandlancer
Summary: After the resolution of the Battle of Five Armies and the beginning of the restoration of Erebor, Thorin and Bilbo are still carefully, and respectfully, distant to each other. Each certain the other wants nothing to do with them after the betrayals they've committed. However, trapped by a cave-in while exploring the lower halls, Thorin and Bilbo are suddenly, and unavoidably thrown together and slowly they begin to sort things out.
